Senior Accountant – Johnston Associates

Gisborne | Auckland | Samoa connections

Johnston Associates is not your typical accounting firm.

With offices in Gisborne, Auckland and Samoa, they’re a growing, well-established practice with a diverse client base and a real focus on building long-term relationships. This is a genuinely exciting time to be joining the business.

We’re looking for one or two Senior Accountants who are ready for more — more ownership, more variety, and more opportunity to grow.

If you’ve got goals and feel like you’ve outgrown where you are, this could be the next step.

What you’ll be doing:

Managing your own portfolio and being a key point of contact for clients

Preparing and reviewing financials, tax and compliance work

Working closely with clients on cashflow, performance and business decisions

Identifying opportunities to add value beyond compliance

Supporting and mentoring junior team members

This is a role where you’re trusted to run your own clients. In the Gisborne office, you’ll work autonomously day to day, with support from the wider team across the business.

Why Johnston Associates:

Variety in your work and client base — no two days look the same

Real opportunity to grow your role and career

Exposure to a wider business, including international connections

A team that values relationships, not just outputs

Salary range of $100,000 – $140,000

What we’re looking for:

6+ years’ experience in public practice

CA or CPA qualified

Strong client relationship skills and confidence leading conversations

Solid technical capability across financials and tax

Someone proactive, organised and easy to work with

Experience in rural or farming clients would be an advantage, but not essential.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to step into a more senior, relationship-led role and be part of a business that’s continuing to grow and evolve.

Applications will be managed on behalf of Johnston Associates by People Plus Ltd and will close 5pm, Friday 8 May.
